^^^^^ That. Is not the path that the link below is talking about, though.
It actually does; it is rather confusing though. :/ It's referring to KNOWNFOLDERID constant FOLDERID_ProgramData. The actual on disk location for this has changed over windows versions. As noted below in the SO link given: "Note that this documentation refers to the typical path as per older versions of Windows. In modern versions of Windows it is located in %SystemDrive%\ProgramData."
Making a new top-level directory without asking is obnoxious.
